being affected by a Laptop Cleanup. You can rest assured that we take the
utmost care to ensure your personal files are not compromised in any way. We

near it's capacity. Only then will we offer advice on backup and archive
solutions.

find any genuine programs that may be causing a conflict or a problem on
your laptop, such as duplicate anti-virus programs we are usually able to tell
what can be removed. If however there is any doubt we will always contact
your first.

Overheating Laptop

Laptops can create a lot of heat in a small space and this heat is
directed away from sensitive internal parts by a heat sync and fan. It's
very important that these components are clean and dust free.

Quite often, over time laptop fans can become blocked with dust and
sometimes pet hair as the example picture on the left illustrates. This
creates a dangerously hot environment inside the laptop and can lead to
components overheating and failing resulting in costly repairs.

As part of our Laptop Service we check the temperatures of the major
internal components in your laptop and we will recommend the necessary
action. Often this requires cleaning of the internal fan and new thermal
paste applied to the heat sync. This may result in a slight additional
charge.
